In this episode, we cover:

  • Halloween traditions in and around the parks!
  • El Tovar at Grand Canyon and the friendly specter of Fred Harvey
  • Big Bend by night, unexplained lights, and why it can feel like the loneliest park in the lower 48
  • Acadia’s Devil’s Oven sea cave, low tide, and why the NPS wants you to give it space
  • Your task for today: We hope we've convinced you that there's a lot more to our national parks than meets the eye! Head over to the @DirtInMyShoes Facebook or Instagram pages and let us know what you think. What's your favorite spooky story from a national park?
